Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 9 years old. This week, the child has been scratching his ears and says they itch. In the morning, there was a lot of yellow earwax. Additionally, there are some low-grade fever symptoms. Please ask: How should we treat otitis media with yellow earwax in children?Doctor's answer:
It is appropriate to use some antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs. In addition to systemic medication, local treatment can also be performed, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for treatment. Depending on the child's condition, pain relievers can be given, especially when the earache is severe, to help alleviate the pain. If the child has a fever, parents can give them fever-reducing medication or take them to the hospital immediately. In addition to these medication methods, if the child's condition is serious and results in a eardrum perforation, medical treatment via surgery is necessary. Lastly, we hope parents can take this disease seriously, take their child to a doctor for early treatment, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures.
